Pakistan - Authorities for Pakistan Railway have confiscated a church building in Lahore after Muslim leaders complained about the church ringing its bells and using loudspeakers to call Christians to prayer. Railways St. Andrew's Church was seized on April 28, and Christian employees of the Railway have been protesting the confiscation of their church property vehemently for the last several weeks. The Church Committee told ICC that the authorities had originally granted Christians written permission to use the building on Sundays for worship services. However, when the church began using its bells and loudspeakers to invite Christians to morning and evening prayer services, Muslim leaders complained that the church was interfering with their five-times a day call to prayer and thus insulting Islam. On April 28, Christians arrived at the church to find the doors sealed shut

we're never going to get anywhere as a global melting pot of religions and ethnicities if we perpetuate it by referring to EVERYONE by their religion to isolate the good from the damned in a persecution complex. Wow, Christians in third world nations might get screwed? It's as if religion reduces humans%uFEFF to savagery without morals.

These videos and news messages are a nice wake up call%uFEFF to us here in the United States.
We get mad when someone starts throwing nasty comments our way, buMore..t these poor souls are being tormented everyday for their beliefs. I can say I am very thankful that we do have freedom of worship here. But, I do believe our freedom of worship will be stripped away from us by muslims, very soon. Things are getting harder and harder for us, these days.Less..

You know, there are two Islams in the world. One is what I call "Disneyland Islam" which exists in the mosques of America and Europe and which is promoted by individuals like you for the benefit of naive Westerners. I know you have honorable intentions.

The other Islam is the Real Islam or Islam of the Orient where Muslims don't give a shit if they play fair because they dominate and they have the competing religious groups (e.g. Christians) thoroughly intimidated and bullied into subMore..mission.Less..

BTW MuslimGirl, if you are right that Muslims in the West are not allowed to use loudspeakers to call for prayers I think that's a ridiculously small price for Muslims to pay. I mean considering the facts that mosques are being build with no restrictions, often against the wishes of the local population, it's a small price to pay. Religious minorities in Arabia and other brutal places of the world have to pay an extremely severe price for refusing to convert to Islam.

How about I force you andMore.. your family to live in garbage dumps like Christians in Egypt. You are a Muslim in the West. Why should I give you a middle class standard of living? If I throw you and your family into a pile of trash, the Egyptian Muslims will surely approve.Less..
